My Reading Logics

What I read, when I read, and why I read?

Quoting my role model Charlie Munger: a person should learn across disciplines and stitch those ideas into a set of mental models. That’s basically how I read—curiously and a little obsessively. Fiction teaches me how people feel, memoirs how they survive, sociology how they behave, and investment books how they think they behave. I read at least 30 minutes a day, and occasionally half a day when I lose all sense of time. I’m also firmly Team Paper Book (yay! old-schooler). My shelves range from investment philosophy to obscure architecture theory, because why not. Most of the books below come from college, a few from high school, and every single one made the cut on purpose. If you’ve read any of them too, please tell me—I’d love to hear how you think about them.
